One of my biggest challenges right now is keeping my patience when helping Steven (just turned 6) to practice piano.

Benjamin (1 yr 9 mo) is starting to say lots of words.

Benjamin is also discovering his “no,” which can be mildly confusing.

Steve and Matthew have developed their own vocabulary.

Our boys love watching “Chopped.” This actually happened.

Benjamin loves to whack people. He’s gotten strong enough that it actually hurts, and we have given permission for the older boys to hit him back (but not in the face). He hasn’t quite figured out the new rules.
